  1. Hey guys, I purchased this Verona / Black in Denver back in 2007; used it as a weekly driver for 5 of those years. It has treated me really well, and is running fine, but needs some love. I'm asking 4k OBO. Lots of pictures here : www.are.na/share/AtgNIHu This is a quick description, but I'm glad to answer any questions. 4 spd. 4th owner. Odo is shot, so mileage unknown, but I’ve probably only put 25k miles on it. Scanned records going back 20 years. This car has been a real workhorse. New distributor cap, real brake cylinder, alternator bushings, carb air filter assembly. Nardi wheel, weber carb, 90% tires. Troubles — Brakes are a little sticky, clutch pushes down to/near the floor, but works with double clutching just fine. Recently, new whirring sound coming from gearbox/drive shaft when it runs cold. AC not functioning. Interior details are aging —headliner cracking small holes, carpet messy, some moldings and seals need renewal. Windshield wash fluid motor not working. Shocks need renewal soon. Parking break needs new cable (I have one). Electrical gremlins — Speedo, odo, brake fluid and fuel gages not working. Other instruments are OK. Radio cuts on/off due to loose wiring in front doors. Horn button is installed but not hooked up, issues with shorting fuse on emergency flashers, inconsistent left headlight functionality (brights work fine). Exterior: Paint is thinning. Some rust in the usual spots: front fenders (in front of doors), front air spoiler, heaviest in the spare tire well, starting on left rear shock towers. Small exterior cracks, dings and rust pocks all around. It's not trouble-free, but it is very strong driving project! CS
  2. Seeking an imperfect used center front grill for a daily driver (73). seeking a replacement under 100$. Shipping to NYC. Message me if you've got something! Thanks.
  3. Not sure what I'm seeing, but interested in: Exterior door handles - lock tumblr and key included oil catch can rear windshield gasket
  4. Working on installing a child's carseat in rear seat of a '73 2002. With a carseat including built-in belt lockdown, the current belts would work fine for me, except that the receivers have long straps, which lands the receiver body right smack in the way of locking mechanisms. Currently, these female receivers have a webbing / strap lead of between 12-13 inches long. Seems crazy long. Anyone know where I can source two (2) female belt receivers with shorter straps, say 6 or 9 inches? For matching reference, I'm attaching a photo of my current buckle type. Anyone know what this style of belt-end is called (the OEM bmw arrow shape)? Thanks. CS
  5. well, I ended up having to file the end of the feeder pipe to get it narrower - somehow it was too flared-out. Still a snug fit and working now. My chest it bruised from leaning down onto the strut mount and my hands are burning from all that fluid. But the car drives beautifully. Thanks for the help, guys.
  6. Thanks, Gentlemen. It's detached from the box and I've tried from a few angles, and from above and below. But, I couldn't see well and didn't want to cram it in and cut up the seal without knowing that I was doing right... I'll go give it another try. Thanks.
  7. while I was detaching the old master cylinder from the pedal box, the supply line popped out –with rubber sealer still in the hole. New cylinder came with rubber sealer in the hole. Is the sealer supposed to be pulled out and connected to the supply line before inserting into the cylinder? At this point, the hard metal supply line is way too flared to just push into the sealer. Thanks for any help you can provide. CS
